Link: ELLE Mixed-Media Sweater 

Sweater: Kohl's 

Leggings: Bliss Boutique

Shoes: Vera Wang-Kohl's 

I know the sweater isn't much to look at from the front view, but the back is adorable. It has a sheer flowing chiffon back. The sweater also comes in a light blue color.

 

The Perfect Tuck

What I'm trying to perfect is the tuck in the front. Here's a good guide I found via Pinterest:

How To Wear Mint Jeans

I'm branching out of my comfort zone with colored skinny jeans. I recently purchased a pair of mint colored jeggings. This pinterest post inspired me.

I'm always looking for a bargain, so I found some at Wal-mart of all places and they were only $9.94. Now, I don't know how long they'll last and the quality, but I always wash my good clothes in the gentle cycle then hang to air dry so maybe they'll last longer.  I'm always conscious of my rear sticking out so I didn't tuck in my sheer blouse. I'm thinking I should've tucked in just the front like the leopard top above or the simple white tee pic.

New Jean Jacket

So, I totally wore an inappropriate winter outfit today. We had a two-hour delay due to snow, but I rebelled against the snow! I cannot take it anymore! I decided to wear my new jean jacket from my Kohl's order a couple of weeks ago.  It's been hanging in my closet just waiting for me....

Elle Denim Jacket

I decided to go with the darker wash instead of the medium wash. I'm so excited to get a new denim jacket because you can wear it with a dress, skirt, shorts....the possibilities are endless. Right now it's on sale for $44.99 plus I just posted a 30% off coupon so it can end up costing only $31.50.

My necklace is also new from Kohl's.

Dana Buchman Necklace

There are also two other color selections. It was hard to choose!

Statement Necklaces

I love to accessorize with jewelry. I wanted to share my three new purchases. I can't wait to get them in the mail. 

Anthro Inspired Statement Necklace

 I have been searching and searching for white chunky statement necklace. I've been looking online at Anthropologie, but didn't want to spend close to $100. I always scour through Ebay and Etsy and finally found one I love for only $8.00 + $5.00 shipping. How can you go wrong with that?

Here are two more I found on Etsy.

Kohl's 30% off coupon

Guess what I got in the mail the other day?  My Kohl's flyer with a 30% off coupon. I wanted to share it all with you, so enjoy!!

My New Favorite Color Combo

I have a new favorite color combo. Remember the red skinny jeans I just wrote about? I paired that up with a new sea-glass green blouse from Kohl's.

Skinny Jeans: Walmart

Boots: Target

Jumping on the Colored Skinny Jean Wagon

I've been debating for a long time whether or not to buy some colored jeans. At last, I did. Since I couldn't make up my mind, I didn't want to splurge and spend a lot of money in case I changed my mind. Now, I don't normally buy clothes from Wal-mart, but I did see some red jeans on clearance for $7.00. I figure for $7.00,what's the worst that could happen? 

Here's my pinterest inspiration

l.e.i Colored Skinny Pants

These are the closest I could find to match the pair I bought. The color of my pants were a more deeper red, called Wild Cherry.

Sea-Glass Green

I love the color sea-glass green! 

J.Crew Sea-Glass Green

I've been searching for a cardi for awhile now and finally found one I like and can afford. I've had my eye on this one from J.Crew but didn't want to spend $65.

J.Crew Jackie Cardi in Sea-Glass Green

The cardi I ended up purchasing was of course from Kohl's for a much cheaper price when I used my 30% off coupon. It's on sale right now for $24.99 online.

Kohl's Croft and Barrow Solid Cardi

New Striped Jacket

So, here's the first item I received from the many Kohl's packages that arrived on my front doorstep this week. A girls gotta take advantage of the 30% off coupon and free shipping, right? Don't you just love coming home and seeing boxes by the front door? Luckily, I arrive home before my husband so I can stash all of my goodies away before he sees them. It was the perfect day to wear it. Is spring really only two weeks away? I guess I shouldn't complain because my school did have a two-hour delay due to the snow we got last night. My goodness am I going to have to invest in more skinnier pants. The ones I'm wearing are doing nothing to flatter my body.
Obviously, the mannequin got the pants right :) This jacket will be very versatile this spring. I'm envisioning wearing it with many bright springy colors.

Addicted to Chevron

So lately, I've been addicted to chevron as I'm sure most of you are. It's a hot trend right now. I just got this new top in the mail this week and couldn't wait to wear it. I never would have paired this outfit with brown boots a year ago, but I see this look all the time on pinterest and now I love it. This top was only $39 from gigi's boutique and they had super fast shipping.

I'm starting to rebel against this winter weather. I broke out the black short sleeve sweater dress. Not once today did I feel like putting on a cardi either :)  I did have my nice thick scarf on to keep me warm. I added a skinny leopard belt and the boots I got on clearance from Target.

New Reversable Pants

On my shopping excursion last week on my snow day off, I bought some awesome pants. First of all who doesn't love it when you can get two looks for the price of one? I've never worn camo before, but was inspired by these looks.

So here are the REVERSIBLE pants I bought at Target.

Best Day Ever

Have you ever felt like you've won the lottery when you've gotten the best deal ever?!?! Last Wednesday my school was canceled due to snow (day already off to a great start) and my daughter's school only had a delay. So,  as I dropped my daughter off at school I waved good-bye and had this sense of giddiness come over me. I had about five hours to myself. I could shop and try on clothes at my leisure. Ahh...pure heaven. I couldn't get to Kohl's and Target fast enough. Needless to say, my day just got better when I spied boots in the clearance aisle at Target. Can you believe I only spent $17.22 for TWO pairs of boots. I almost did a happy dance in the aisle!

Merona Keon Suede Tall Wedge Boots

These Merona Keon Suede Tall Wedge Boots were only $6.74

Mossimo Supply Co. Kirima Tall Boot with Tassel

These Mossimo Supply Co. Kirima Tall Boots with Tassle were only $10.48

Both of these boots are on clearance online, but not for the deal I got them at. I suggest running to your nearest Target store.

Spring Color Trends 2013

Before the next season starts, I always like to look online to see what the new color trends will be. As I'm purchasing spring clothing I often refer back to it in order to coordinate my pieces.
